Attached are some pics of the sad fate of the USS Buchanan (DDG-14), which was used for target practice (not sure exactly what weapon/weapons caused the damage). Mount 51 (5", 54 Cal.) is visible in the pic of the Port Bow. The 5", 54's (rapid fire) replaced the 5", 38's of WW2 fame. Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of either!
Best Regards, Don
